WebCrypto does not yet specify the use of these but work is already in progress - https://www.w3.org/2012/webcrypto/WebCryptoCurve25519/Curve25519-WebCrypto.html

It looks names may end up as:
ECDH-CURVE25519
SCHNOR-ED25519

ed25519 is specified here - http://ed25519.cr.yp.to/ed25519-20110926.pdf

The WebCrypto spec with the most details on this at this time is here : https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25839#c47

It seems today the only way to support would be using "raw" as there is no JWK defiition for it yet.

I would argue until there is, and there is an interopability target we should not implement it.
